Ah yes, you are definitely right. I made some fuzz factory-style pedals this year and they had some serious noise in bypass mode until I discovered that schematic and rewired the footswitches.

I've got an Ibby Soundgear with BH2s. I'm really interested in replacing the blend pot with some sort of switch that will allow me to access parallel pickup options in addition to the stock series wiring, which I think sounds great but is not very versatile. What I'd really like to do is throw...

A DPDT switch would work great for this. If your pickups go straight to a volume/tone, then to the preamp; then as you described would be correct. Here's a wiring diagram.

This is very interesting - do you have an example of the tone before and after modification? As far as I understand pickups and impedance, this tone suck you describe should mainly be reducing the strength of the resonant peak of the pickups, but should not be too destructive of highs, given the...

I'm late to the party, but I was wondering if you ever completed this project and how it sounded? I've got a bass with Bartolini pickups that I'm interested in modding this way myself

Yeah! You can move the regular output plug over to where it says +6db and you get a louder output from your bass. If you do this though the active and passive modes will be at noticeably different volumes. You can also move the plug in BEQ3 over to VM3 - VM3 is meant for EHB basses, or basses...
